Things I have done to haul the grandkids along. Our old Class A had removable bucket type swivel seats with seatbelts on the floor.

On our current DP, we have strapped their seats on the J sofa with the supplied seat belts. I don't like the child seats sitting on the sofa sideways, but there is not way one could strap them so they are facing forward, but have to make do. Not to worried with this coach, as it has a excellent safety record!
